Comment(by perry@…):

 I guess it's more of a personal preference.  I saw 'current' as a behind
 the scenes means to indicate which version is selected (which
 `python_select -s` shows and uses) rather than a valid version such as
 python25 and python25-apple.  I can see how it'd be useful as a shortcut
 to recreate the symlinks - i.e., no need to check the currently selected
 version and then select it - but how often does that case come up?
